FC Sion won 4-0 against Stade Nyonnais in Vaud. After a draw and a defeat, this victory consolidates Valaisans’ position as leader of the Challenge League.
Announced as a meeting of all dangers against an opponent who had picked up 10 points in his last 4 matches, this derby followed by 2050 spectators espoused a favorable scenario for the Valaisans.
In the 2nd minute, Victor Petit deceived his own goalkeeper on a cross from Ilyas Chouaref. In the 67th minute, it was Karim Sow who suffered the same misfortune, this time on a cross from Numa Lavanchy. In the meantime, the Nyonnais had to deplore the expulsion of their captain Quentin Gaillard for a second warning in the 53rd.
The score is therefore a bit misleading in that the leader was pushed around for an hour. But in the end, this victory is well deserved. In the person of Chouaref, Didier Tholot was able to count on an attacker who set fire to practically every one of his actions. In 4 weeks, he will be the man to watch for the Lugano defense during the semi-final of the Swiss Cup that all of Valais is waiting for.
